Canonical variables and Heisenberg equations of motion for the spin-3/2 field in the presence of interactions
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
Contrary to the prevalent belief, it is shown here that for the spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger field in the presence of a fully quantized interaction, the (anti) commutation relations are compatible with the Heisenberg equations of motion. The latter are indeed the same as the Lagrangian equations of motion. Further, it is shown that the validity of the Heisenberg equations of motion does not depend upon the choice of the canonical variables.
